Chapter 216: The Legend of the Pearl-Cockroach Fish

"This old man!" Aunt Xi said angrily: "He took me a silver coin, and lied to me that my son would return today, but it was noon when I came out, and I haven't seen my son yet.

The prodigy slapped the table and said angrily: "Today is not over, and the hexagram fruit is naturally not out!" How can you say that the old man is not accurate in his fortune telling?" His expression was extremely indignant, as if it was a great humiliation to say that he was not accurate in his fortune telling. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Everyone felt that his words were reasonable, and nodded: "Aunt Xi, what he said is true, it is only now, maybe your son will come back later." ”

Aunt Xi sneered: "Hmph! He is a foreigner who doesn't know the situation in the mountains, don't you guys know either, the sun can't be seen in the mountains after noon, it's as dark as night, if you don't go out of the mountain before noon, you have to wait until the next day after dawn to go out of the mountain again!"

Then everyone came to their senses: "Yes, I almost forgot about it, the mountains are indeed like night after noon, and fierce beasts are rampant, and it is impossible to go out of the mountains after noon, and those who go in to hunt can only choose to enter and exit before noon." ”

They couldn't help but look at the prodigy with puzzled and slightly hostile eyes, it seemed that this old man had really come to Du Father Town to cheat money. There are even a few strong men who have also gone into the mountains to hunt, and they know the situation inside, so they have already gathered around the table and shouted: "Hey, old man, quickly return the money to Aunt Xi, otherwise the gentlemen will tear up your stall!"

"You ......" The prodigy was so angry that his nose was slanted, and he shouted with a red face: "The old man said that he will come out today! If you don't come out, my prodigy will stick ten silver coins to you!"

With that, he reached into his arms, took out a handful of silver coins, and threw them on the table. Everyone was startled when they saw it, and at least twenty or thirty silver coins were scattered on the table, among which there were several yellow gold coins, but they didn't expect this fortune-telling old man to be dressed in tatters and carry so much money on his body!

"Hmph!" Aunt Xi sneered: "I can't imagine that you, a dead liar, have cheated so much money!

The prodigy put his hands in front of the table: "The old man heard that the people of Dufu Town have always been virtuous, but I didn't expect it to be so unreasonable, and before the time comes, I won't give you a penny!"

Naturally, most of the onlookers were residents of Dufu Town, and there were reasonable people among them, and when they heard the prodigy say this, they persuaded him: "Aunt Xi, this fortune teller is reasonable, otherwise we will see if your son comes home later, if he can't calculate accurately, let's trouble him again." ”

Aunt Xi said: "This old man obviously wants to delay time, if I leave, he rolls up the stall and leaves, where can I find him?" she insisted on refusing, and insisted that the prodigy return the money.

Everyone saw that they couldn't persuade them, and they were helpless, and in a moment there were more people around, some supported the West Aunt, and some supported the prodigy, and the two sides quarreled and stalemate for a while, but to no avail.

The prodigy saw that his stall was surrounded by so many people, and seeing that the business was delayed and could not be done, he was naturally very annoyed, and he said loudly: "Aunt Xi! When the old man told your son a fortune yesterday, there was something that he did not tell you, do you know why your son came out of the mountain after noon?"

Aunt Xi looked disdainful: "My son is not a fool, how can he come out of the mountain after noon when it is dark in the mountains?

The prodigy said helplessly: "It's just because your son is dead! After he and his companions went out of the mountain together, they encountered danger on the way! Several companions who went with him carried his body out of the mountain overnight, so they did not leave the mountain before noon!"

"You...... You lie!" When Aunt Xi heard this, she sat directly on the ground like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but she didn't want to believe it.

The onlookers were also skeptical, not knowing what the prodigy was saying, but there was no dodge on his face, and it didn't seem to be a lie.

Even Yan Wuping was a little puzzled in his heart, he had been hungry for a long time, but after watching this group of people arguing here for a long time, and now he forgot to eat, he thought to himself: "This god is really bold, he dares to talk like this nonsense in other people's territory, and it is reasonable to say that Aunt Xi's son will come back later, and now he says that his son is dead, if her son really comes back alive after a while, this cowhide will be pierced!"

The prodigy said, "If you don't believe it, just wait, I won't be able to run anyway." His eyes turned to the fierce men standing at his desk.

"Even if I can run, I will never leave until the hexagram is out!" he added, then sighed deliberately and sat cross-legged at the table with a leisurely expression.

Aunt Xi saw that he was calm and calm, and she couldn't sit still, and was about to speak.

"Oh no! Aunt Xi!" Suddenly, a few people ran at the gate of the market, shouting all the way.

Aunt Xi looked back and recognized that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at the head was the second brother Qian who went into the mountains to hunt with his son.

When those people saw Aunt Xi from afar, they hurriedly pulled away from the crowd and ran to Aunt Xi's side, only to see Second Brother Qian's expression a little panicked, and he stammered: "Aunt Xi, you ...... Hurry up and go home and see...... Nishikoro...... Xi Xiaolang he ...... He's dead......"

"What......" Aunt Xi's eyes darkened, she fainted when she looked up, and the second brother Qian and the rest of the accomplices hurriedly helped Aunt Xi and cried.

The prodigy muttered to himself, "Am I not wrong......?" he let out a long sigh, this time a real sigh.

Everyone was stunned, when they heard the prodigy say that Aunt Xi's son was dead, they didn't believe it, they didn't expect it to be verified so quickly, and those who were around the stall and ready to fight walked away embarrassedly.

Someone asked Second Brother Qian: "Is Aunt Xi's son really dead?"

Second Brother Qian cried: "The three of us went into the mountains together two days ago, and we originally planned to return the next day, but I didn't expect to meet the corpse of a pearl cockroach in the mountains at noon that day. ”

"Pearl-tome fish?" everyone said in unison, very surprised. The pearl cockroach is a very rare fish in the East China Sea, and some people have never seen this fish in their lives in Dufu Town, but there are many rumors about the pearl roach.

Legend has it that the pearl borer fish only lives in the deep seabed, its shape is flat, the body is as thin as paper, this fish is extremely soft, only one spine runs through the head and tail, and the head is triangular, there are four eyes on each side of the spine, and the left two eyes are said to be able to emit foreign light in the water, scaring other aquatic creatures that prey on fish.
